Citric acid-derived carbon dots (CA-CDs) without any modifications were found to have the ascorbate oxidase (AAO)-like activity. The CA-CDs have high affinity for ascorbic acid (AA), which is similar to natural AAO. The robustness of CA-CDs is greater than that of AAO. Based on the AAO mimetic activity of CA-CDs, a sensitive turn-on mode and natural enzyme-free fluorescence detection method has been developed for AA in some fruit juice and beverage samples with satisfied recoveries. This study provides CDs-based AAO mimetic nanozymes to replace the expensive natural enzymes or heavy metal-based nanozymes, which will show great potential in biological and food assays.
柠檬酸衍生的碳点(CA-CDs)无需任何修饰即可表现出抗坏血酸氧化酶(AAO)样活性。CA-CDs 对抗坏血酸(AA)具有高亲和力,这与天然 AAO 相似。CA-CDs 的稳健性强于 AAO。基于 CA-CDs 的 AAO 模拟活性,建立了一种灵敏的开环模式和无天然酶的荧光检测方法,用于检测一些果汁和饮料样品中的 AA,回收率令人满意。本研究为基于 CDs 的 AAO 模拟纳米酶替代昂贵的天然酶或基于重金属的纳米酶提供了可能,这将在生物和食品分析中显示出巨大的潜力。
